A curse on this game. How can you stick at a game when the rules keep on changing? I shall call myself Alice and play croquet with the flamingos. In Wonderland everyone cheats and love is Wonderland, isn't it?

Happy Valentines Day to those who have found love, in whatever shape or form, and to those who are still hunting, don't give up. If you feel bad, send yourself a card. You must be worth it.
Jeanette Winterson
We shall all die, and our lives will be irrelevant then.
Jeanette Winterson
I am much better at saying how I feel when I no longer feel it.
Jeanette Winterson

Time that withers you will wither me. We will fall like ripe fruit and roll down the grass together. Dear friend, let me lie beside you watching the clouds until the earth covers us and we are gone.
Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson
I spin worlds where we could be together. I dream you. For me, imagination and desire are very close.
Jeanette Winterson
What you risk reveals what you value.
Jeanette Winterson
Names are still magic even Sharon, Karen, Darren, and Warren are magic to somebody somewhere. In fairy stories, naming is knowledge. When I know your name, I can call your name, and when I call your name, you'll come to me.
Jeanette Winterson
I care about doing the work as best as I can do, and that it should go on reaching people. It's not about fame and it's not about me. It's about creating something that might allow someone else to create something.
Jeanette Winterson
Everyone who tells a story tells it differently, just to remind us that everybody sees it differently.
Jeanette Winterson
I felt like a thief with a bagful of stolen glances.
Jeanette Winterson
Art can make a difference because it pulls people up short. It says, don't accept things for their face value you don't have to go along with any of this you can think for yourself.
Jeanette Winterson
We fear passion and laugh at too much love and those who love too much. And still we long to feel.
Jeanette Winterson
I say I'm in love with her. What does that mean? It means I review my future and my past in the light of this feeling. It is as though I wrote in a foreign language that I am suddenly able to read. Wordlessly, she explains me to myself. LIke genius she is ignorant of what she does.
Jeanette Winterson
I had huge ambition for literature. I don't see the point of doing anything if you don't have ambition for it.
